The Escalating Vocabulary Of A Chemistry Career

The Escalating Vocabulary Of A Chemistry Career
The evolution of a chemist's vocabulary in real time. Regular people say "soda." First-year chemistry students proudly use "carbonated water" to sound scientific. But the final form? The lab veteran who's spent too many nights titrating solutions: "0.17% dilute carbonic acid." Because nothing says "I have a PhD" like making simple beverages sound like they require hazmat handling.

Me After The Chemistry Teacher Told Me That Soda Is Acid

Me After The Chemistry Teacher Told Me That Soda Is Acid
The moment of sheer terror when your chemistry teacher drops the "soda is acid" bomb, followed by sweet relief when you realize it's just carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). That weak little molecule couldn't dissolve your insides if it tried! Carbonated drinks contain this mild acid formed when CO₂ dissolves in water—about as dangerous as a kitten wearing safety goggles. Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid that's thousands of times stronger. So next time someone tries to scare you about "drinking acid," just smile smugly and take another sip of your chemical cocktail.

The Fluid Dynamics Beverage Delivery System Mk 1

The Fluid Dynamics Beverage Delivery System Mk 1
Engineers never truly leave the lab behind! While others question the practicality of fluid mechanics, engineers are busy creating gravity-fed beverage distribution systems in their kitchens. This magnificent contraption—with its valves, pressure regulators, and perfect laminar flow—isn't just a way to pour soda; it's a beautiful demonstration of Bernoulli's principle in action! The creator definitely went to bed that night sketching upgrades for the Mk 2 version. Perhaps automatic carbonation level sensors? Temperature-controlled flow rates? The possibilities are ENDLESS when you've got pipes, valves, and an engineering degree!
